Global phylogeny, evolution and biodiversity of open-ocean phytoplankton genus Gephyrocapsa
Project summary:
The coccolithophore genus Gephyrocapsa is of great ecological importance in the ocean ecology and the climate system. This project aims to obtain a comprehensive understanding of its phylogeny, evolution and biodiversity though ingtergrating morphological evidence with genomic data. The study will enhance understanding of its ecological roles and predict biodiversity impacts from climate change.
